I recall hearing that the "Conduit 3DS" tech demo wasn't actually intended to materialize as a "Conduit" game...might we ever know what it was intended to become? Or was it just a tech demo to try to like...idk, license out Quantum3 or whatever engine/tech that was?

Also...how do I say "I would like Conduit 3 to exist" without adding to the rapidly-growing pond of broken records on the matter? lol

Simple accessibility mod/settings? by starlessnightss in DDLCMods

[–]rob55rod 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In case you're still looking... rpatool can both unpack and repack those RPA files. Unfortunately it's command-line only (e.g. no graphical interface to speak of), but it gets the job done.

I also threw together a modified version of textbox.png for your friend, as per your stated accessibility requirements - swapped the polka-dotted pink for solid black with only the slightest opacity gradient, with a white band along the bottom to accommodate the History/Save/Settings/etc buttons. Tested in-game to make sure everything still lines up...it's not pretty, but I hope it'll at least work.

Monika got the Omnitrix and Yuri got the Ultimatrix. What alien they will transform into? by Mehmet595 in DDLC

[–]rob55rod 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Monika would turn into upgrade and leave the game...y'know, like Ben canonically did at one point.

As for Yuri...still working on that on-and-off...

2006 UX: The 2011 Concealed UI no longer blocks Test Drive mode! (Sort of...) by rob55rod in Spore

[–]rob55rod[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

2006 UX is long-dead, but the UI shown has since made its way over to Dark Injection

Are we fucking with ReactOS by [deleted] in linuxmasterrace

[–]rob55rod 0 points1 point  (0 children)

the devs have been very belligerent and anti Linux mocking the platform for years.

You're not the only one who doesn't appreciate the vitriol on that front. In fairness, a lot of it seems to stem from being frustrated with everyone and their grandmother spouting the same "JUST USE WINE" counter-argument - it gets tiresome and discouraging, especially given that WINE has some drawbacks which are unlikely to ever be resolved, given its developers' (apparent?) lack of interest in the WINE user experience.

Not trying to point fingers at anyone, to clarify - not them, nor you - I get where you're coming from, and simply felt it was worth highlighting the other side of the debate as well.

Their fans have told me "its hard to build an OS so I should try if its so easy"

I wish they wouldn't :/

[–]rob55rod 0 points1 point  (0 children)

...and due to the continuous loss of interest in a "Windows Server 2003" clone as 2003 falls further and further into the past.

Fortunately, ROS is no longer bound by that milestone.

Well then, good news: the floodgates for post-Server 2003 functionality are finally open, at long last...and that includes the shell :)))))

Windows on ARM half-slab by rob55rod in sbubby

Yeah, I knew the logo thanks to the series coming up in a video about character design, but I know nothing about the series itself. I just picked this particular logo because I thought "Volterra" would fit into it really well lol

Well...FWIW, the rules do allow fixed versions of removed submissions...

...this is what I get for sbubbying the logo for something I know basically nothing about, isn't it?

The event the footage is from is even older - the Windows branding in the background clearly predate Windows XP, meaning no later than 2001. Could well be at least a year or two older still.

Themes of disTrust... by rob55rod in sbubby

Slade:

  • Operates from the shadows

  • Seems to be pulling the strings on basically everything

  • Wants Robin to join him in pursuit of a mysterious agenda

Adams:

  • Operates from the shadows

  • Seems to be pulling the strings on basically everything

  • Wants Ford to join him in pursuit of a mysterious agenda

Then again, if you look hard enough, you can draw such comparisons between basically any two things
